Abstract

Smart wireless sensor system, capable of iterative damage-searching, mimics an optimization process in decentralized way. Proposed algorithm tries to detect damage in a structure by monitoring abnormal increase in strain measurement from a group of wireless sensors. Clustering technique provides reasonable allocation of effective sensor placement in a structure. By adopting a voting system, a group of wireless sensors iteratively forages for a damage location. Since all damage-searching process occurs within a small group of wireless sensors, no global control or data transmission to a central system is required. Numerical simulation shows that newly developed searching algorithm implemented on wireless sensors successfully localizes stiffness damage in a plate through iteratively changing the functional mode of sensors in a cluster.
